Can the FCC take away broadcast licenses because the Trump administration doesn’t like how TV stations cover the Iran war? Does the First Amendment have anything to say about it? In this episode of the Votes and Verdicts podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence TMT litigation and policy analyst Matt Schettenhelm sits down with Brent Skorup of the Cato Institute. They discuss President Donald Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s recent threats to revoke broadcast licenses based on coverage of the Iran war. They consider the applicable FCC rules, how the First Amendment applies differently to broadcasters and the likelihood that the Supreme Court will take up these questions.
